Global Public Policy

About the course

Fostering cooperation
among state and non-state actors and across cultures and levels of development
challenges the political imagination. What is more the number of states whose
cooperation is essential continues to increase and nationalism endures. In this
module we draw on theories of the policy process and international relations
and investigate some case examples to develop our understanding of how to rise
to this challenge. Students will: develop an understanding of the rationale for global public
policy; learn who the key actors are; understand the ways in which public
policy and international relations theories can help to interpret these developments;
as
well as apply these insights to different cases of contemporary global public
policy.
